...fair has much, much more: the IBM building, with walls of living silver poplars, where kids must learn to think like computers to find their way out of a maze; NASA's floating, jewel-like weather satellites and full-size space-capsule mock-up (complete with a silver-suited astronaut); the Mexican Pavilion with walls of lava cubes and a startling, exquisitely crafted assemblage by Manuel Felguerez; a fashion pavilion where haughty Vogue models perch on concrete lily pads in a 5,000-gallon perfumed pool. But those who take even samplings at the fair's food spots...
...Kitchen? "We're surrounded," said the Chicago Tribune in mock despair. In Teddy's move, the Tribune thought it could sniff the course of U.S. politics for years to come: "President John F.

It takes a heap of declarative sentences, including several inverse clichés that are almost as good as clichés ("Love makes the world go square"), to establish the fact that David and Barbara...
...such classic, superannuated hustlers as Rastignac, and "a few with historical/names"--Baudelaire, Caravaggio. Within them all persists the sullenness and flabby dignity of Shakespeare's besotted bed-athlete. Some like him are still determined to "fight maliciously . . . set my teeth, and send to darkness all that stop me." All "mock the midnight bell" with their varied assertions of tarnished individual worth even in the private hell, the public abattoir...
